Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After all, Kou Yu had served as an important general in the border army for many years.

Ye Chen knew that if he asked these border army generals to face Kou Yu directly, they might still be a little timid.

Not to mention.

Ye Chen knew about the struggle between him and Yang Dechang, and he must have let these border army generals know about it long ago.

If Ye Chen asked these generals to come forward directly, they might be hesitant about whether to intervene in the court dispute. It would be better to gather all the troops under these generals into the Beijing camp and let Di Gui take them to deal with Kou Yu.

Moreover, the number of troops mobilized from the armies of these eighteen generals was not large.

Each general brought with him just over 1000 men.

The total amount is just over 20,000.

It was also because they brought fewer troops that they were able to catch up with Kou Yu's troops who had already set out for several days.

Therefore, these troops must be combined with Di Gui's troops to create a military advantage over Kou Yu.

When Ye Chen was mobilizing these border troops, he was already thinking about how to gather them together, and now it seems that everything is going smoothly.

The seventeen border generals were all willing to hand over the command of the army and stand against Kou Yu.

Ye Chen finally gathered enough troops to deal with Kou Yu.

"My dear ministers, please return now. The military transfer seal will be delivered to the Beijing camp later. Someone will be there to receive you."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave!"

Seventeen people retreated one after another.

And until then.

A long sigh was heard from behind Ye Chen.

"Emperor, have you informed Di Gui a long time ago? You even hid these things from me. You couldn't have told Di Gui before these people came to the capital, right?"

Su Mengjiao raised her hand and lifted the bead curtain. Her eyes suddenly became sharp and she asked.

"Of course it's impossible, but I can send someone out of the city as fast as possible to tell Di Gui that I want to gather these border troops."

Ye Chen then turned to look at Su Mengjiao.

"Empress Dowager, please let the Imperial Guards handle this."

".OK."

Su Mengjiao nodded, indicating that she would definitely be able to handle this matter.

"Emperor, even if Di Gui's troops outnumber Kou Yu's, Kou Yu does have cavalry, and the troops he leads are all elite from the border army. Do you have the confidence that Di Gui can really defeat Kou Yu?"

Su Mengjiao asked again.

Everything now is exactly as Ye Chen arranged.

This made Su Mengjiao feel like a useless person.

This made her a little uncomfortable.

I feel a little embarrassed.

So she tried hard to find the shortcomings in Ye Chen's arrangements.

"Queen Dowager, I have no intention of letting Di Gui and Kou Yu go to war openly."

"Kou Yu's men are border troops, not his personal soldiers."

"I really don't believe that Kou Yu has such great prestige in the army that he can make more than 30,000 people die for him."

Ye Chen shook his head, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"But Emperor, those 30,000 soldiers are under Kou Yu's control after all. What exactly do you plan to do?"

Su Mengjiao asked doubtfully.

"Ah."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, but pretended to be mysterious and said: "Queen Dowager, when the time comes, you will naturally know."

".."

Su Mengjiao bit her lips hard, glared at Ye Chen fiercely, snorted coldly, and turned away.

"I don't want to say it, and I don't want to know!"

Su Mengjiao left behind a sentence when she left the Qianqing Palace.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but touch his nose.

This Su Mengjiao is quite arrogant.

Recently, Ye Chen always found that Su Mengjiao acted like a child in front of him.

I don’t know if this is Su Mengjiao’s nature.

In the past, she had been suppressing herself because she often had to compete for power with powerful officials.

But now, Ye Chen has almost suppressed all the powerful officials.

Su Mengjiao is starting to liberate her nature?

Ye Chen shook his head, but didn't think about anything else.

"Cheng'en, bring me paper and pen. I want to write a letter to Di Gui and have someone from the Supervisory Department deliver it to him."

Ye Chen suddenly said to Cheng En again.

He still needs to focus on dealing with Kou Yu.

In Ye Chen's opinion, it was not enough to rely solely on the imperial guards to bring the news that Di Gui was reorganizing his army.

And some things.

Ye Chen didn't plan to let Su Mengjiao know.

After Cheng'en brought a pen and paper, Ye Chen wrote the letter and handed it to Cheng'en, who then quickly sent it out.

Then he got up and went to the Yangxin Palace.

But just as he sat down in the Yangxin Palace, Cheng'en suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a message from Miss Tong."

"She plans to take her sister-in-law out of the palace and say goodbye to Lord Ye, but if Lord Ye is too busy, he doesn't need to pay attention to them."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Quick, change me into the clothes of the Imperial Guards. I want to go and take a look!"

Ye Chen said without hesitation.

"promise!"
